FAQs
What is the primary benefit of RECCO technology?
RECCO is an electronic transponder system that allows professional search and rescue teams to locate a person buried in an avalanche using a handheld detector.
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
They feature a DWR water-resistant finish, which is highly effective against snow and light moisture, but they are not classified as fully waterproof like a hardshell garment.
Can I adjust the waist?
These trousers feature belt loops, allowing you to use a belt for a more customized fit.
How should I wash them?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or high-heat tumble drying.
Will these fit over thick thermal leggings?
Due to the slim-fit design, you should be able to wear light-to-medium weight base layers comfortably, but very thick thermal layers may make the trousers feel too tight.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray treatment.
Difficulty zipping over boots
Ensure the internal gaiter is properly aligned and not bunched up inside the leg cuff before pulling the zip up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Avalanche ski trousers last for many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Try the trousers on with your intended base layers to ensure the slim fit remains comfortable and does not restrict circulation.
- Compatibility: The integrated gaiters are designed to fit snugly over most standard alpine ski boots. Ensure the stud and zip fly are fully closed to maintain the weather seal.
- Cleaning: Wash on a gentle cycle using a technical garment cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the outer fabric if you notice water no longer beads on the surface after a season of use.
